I was thinking the same thing. It would be sweet to have Alembic and bgeo be offloaded to the video card with the Custom Primitive. THe tech is there.

THis would make me so happy. OMG If we could get this for volumes(I guess standard bgeo would take care of this). My life would be so much better.

Its tricky

might be a good start

Whats really cool about the method pcales mentioned is that you can smooth out the Quat -> matrix values with an attrib blend. So if your pieces are constrained together their edges stick together giving a cloth/metal vibe to them.
